PSI creep in Keg

[edwin-in-nc]

All,

So I kegged an ipa yesterday and set my regulator to 10psi and when I woke up this morning it said 60psi on my regulator. So my questions is ...is my regulator broken and even more important have I ruined
my beer at that psi.... Thanks in advance!!!!

You really can't ruin a beer by over-carbing. You just need to re-establish your intended pressure and the excess CO2 will go away over time. I'd guess a couple of days to a week. My gauges creep like that, but only when they're not connected to a keg. Do you have the regulator's outlet valve open?

Yes the outlet was open, I switched it to my old single regulator because I don't have anything in my second keg right now but still not sure why my one regulator is creeping it did not start until yesterday and it's only a couple months old .... Is there a way to fix it ? i.e. a rebuild kit?
